Whatever may be put up in opposition to MMT, it is hard to deny that our current #NeoClassical (#NeoLiberal) #Economy is not working for the better good of society as a whole. It is uncontestable to say that for the last 40 years or so, wealth has been hoovered up and tipped into the pockets of a minute portion of a global population. Where once the western middle class did not feel the theft that was concentrated on Global South, the tables have turned 180 degrees and all strata of society bar the #Billionaires are now awake to this scourge. It is time to think outside the box and come up with more equitable economic systems and toss the current crop into the dustbin of history. Don’t be afraid, it can never be worse than what is in place currently.

“Richard Murphy has written extensively on the subject, developing a position that challenges orthodox interpretations of inflation's causes, questions the tools used to manage it, and argues that the policy response to recent inflationary episodes has been both analytically flawed and socially harmful. His analysis draws on Modern Monetary Theory, heterodox political economy, and close attention to the real-world distribution of economic power.”

Richard Murphy’s Views On…Inflation

This post is one of an ongoing series explaining Richard Murphy's views on significant topics in economics, political economy, politics, taxation, and accounting. It should be read as such, as an overview of a position developed across many years of writing and analysis, and not as a comprehensive treatment. Where more detail...

I find Richard Murphy's YouTube articles illuminating, informative and reasonably understandable.
He's on Mastodon as well @RichardJMurphy

This one is about war profiteering and mentions BP specifically

https://youtu.be/SlJd7wuiSIk?si=qIyUyQr13UbJI4-V

"BP made $3.2 billion in the first three months of 2026, which was more than double its profit from the same period last year. It did not achieve this by finding new oil or selling more of it. It did it by trading oil contracts. In other words: by betting on war. And your energy bill paid for it."

BP is profiting from war, you are paying the price of that, and this is how to stop that

Stay away from banks: they exist to exploit you

Banks are not your friend. They exist to exploit you, and they will whenever they can. This is the audio version: Banks want to keep you in debt. I know they produce those lovely cuddly adverts that imply that they're your friend, helping you out as you go through life, but all of...

The new world order is here and neoliberalism is dead

"The politics for people that I am promoting would reject the idea of anyone being #disposable. As a result, we could have a caring economy, but it would be more efficient, resilient, and democratic as a consequence, because everyone would be included. And if you use all the resources that everyone can bring to the economy, guess what? You have a bigger, stronger, and better economy where incomes are higher." #RichardMurphy

You are not disposable

Modern economics behaves as if some people simply do not matter. In this video, I reject that idea outright. Neoliberal economic policy treats people as costs, blames them for failures they did not create, and deliberately excludes those who do not contribute to its narrow definition of “productivity”. Disabled people, carers,...
